The Week in the Proverbial Nutshell

The week went by so quickly. I suppose that was because of the fact that there were THREE highlights! Yeppers, you read that right- THREE highlights. NO!NO!NO! I mean FOUR highlights! Holy Cow!

AND NOW, here's my week in a:

HIGHLIGHT ONE: Wednesday night supper with the college kids AND meeting DoodleBug's new love interest, Swanee! Oh, he gets the thumbs up!

Evwardo, DoodleBug and Tucker, Swanee, Gibbsterrific, Birdie and Strider joined us for supper on Wednesday. Of course, Birdie and Strider joined in via Skype. I made homemade veggie soup and gluten free pumpkin cheesecake! YUM! And FUN!

HIGHLIGHT TWO: Birdie's Birthday! Even though she wasn't here, we shared it with her to an extent. First, DoodleBug and I sent her a package that arrived the week before her birthday BUT we told her she couldn't open it until her actual birthday. Which was Friday. So, Friday morning, she opened her box! It's always nice to have a package to open on your birthday. We put some green surprises in cards and Evwardo, her boytoy, took them to her. He flew out to Texas on Thursday to spend Birdie's birthday weekend with her (he's like, the SWEETEST!) where they spent time carving a pumpkin...I might have stolen taken borrowed a few pictures from Evwardo's facebook page.

That's Evwardo. And, yes. He is sporting pumpkin head gear.

Birdie takes all things Halloween quite seriously.

The end result!

HIGHLIGHT THREE: Deanie came home Thursday. Then she left for Hilton Head on Friday--to be in a wedding (her big's nuptials...big meaning her big sister in her sorority). BUT she came back today and isn't leaving until tomorrow!

DoodleBug has missed her sisters so much! Hubs and I just stood there talking about how much we love seeing them together. That's Gibbsterrific standing there too! She knows all about missing sisters. Her sister, Gibbsterrific the younger, is at home in PA.

HIGHLIGHT FOUR: DoodleBug is the captain of the College of Charleston's Women's Ultimate Frisbee team (the Hobos) and they hosted a tournament this weekend! Hubs and I spent all day Saturday out there cheering them on. Oh, and we took out coolers of Gatorade and water; bananas, apples, string cheese, bagels, Nutella, peanut butter, trail mix galore... And I might have taken a picture or 400ish.

That's DoodleBug. Using her face to assist her in catching the disc. Sometimes, she takes after her dad.

Passing the disc.

Running to catch the disc.

At one point, there might have been some dance moves on the field.

Some busting of the moves, if you will.

Break it down girls!

No, NO! BREAK it down NOT FALL down! This might have been a backwards layout.

Catching the disc...

And again...

Passing it off.

Look! It's Gibbsterrific!!!

DoodleBug is little, but don't let that fool you.

Because she is FIERCE!

Today's video is from sectionals in May, 2011. DoodleBug is number 4 and the team is wearing white jerseys.

That's it for now! I'll update more later! Hope y'all have a FANTASTIC week! And remember to smile! You know why...!

My scouts play Ultimate Frisbee and they sure do get pretty intense and our troop is the best in our area. It's so cool watching them.Thank you for sharing these pictures. I love them.Take care and have a great week. Keep up the great weight loss, the great walking and all that you're doing. YEAH!!!Take care and God Bless!!

I swear Pam if I didn't know better I'd say you were shy about how proud of your girls you are!!!! These girls are rock like Mama! Love the pictures. Do you have a sore throat from all the cheering? I would. My son used to say at his basketball games that his Dad and I were the loudest fans in the crowd. Great post. She is fierce! Hugs my friend.

Barb- Thanks! I know. I try to hide how proud I am, but it just doesn't work! We had such a fantastic weekend. Every girl on that team is so sweet! We try not to be loud. We try really hard. Are we successful? Not sure about that! LOL Are you packed for your trip yet?

Oh I'm so glad you had a reunion of sorts! Nothing like girl bonding! Now for that Ultimate Frisbee game...don't ever let someone say girls aren't competitive. Such fierce warrior expressions on DoodleBug and friends! And I love the break down dancing!What a great weekend!Hugs~

What a week! Full of highlights and proud mama moments. :) I´m glad you had such a great time and I can tell your kids love you.I can see DoodleBug gives her everything into the game. FIERCE is right! :)Have a good new week!

:::smacking your shoulder while shouting: "Red one!!"::: Oh never mind, I just saw the red VW in one of the photos, and was reminded of the commercials. LOL

Loved viewing all the action shots of the frisbee game. Great stuff. You should become a professional photographer!!! Seriously. Ever think of trying to become a free lance photographer for a newspaper in your town?

Great weekend stuff. All filled with fun.

And yep...you and me both when it comes to shopping and how they all mysteriously hop in the shopping cart.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

Let's share the laughs of midlife together!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

I listed these gifts ideas back in May (Y'all can read that post HERE ) as good ideas for Empty Nest moms for Mother's Day but the...
